HAPPY NEW YEAR

I had my grapes and everything...and I don't feel sick anymore....cool beans!

My 100th Post

Wooow...I've posted 99 (not counting this one) posts on my blog, geeez.
Well, when better to post your 100th post then at the start of the New Year eh?
Well, I'd like to say this has been the best year of my life, but I'd be lying...but I will say this....
2008 was a year of learning, a year of adapting to change, and a year of spiritual and emotional recovery. I can't say I've fully recovered, but I feel I'm well on my way, and I think that the Lord has something extra special for all of us who have had a difficult last couple years..maybe not this year, but he does have something special saved for each and everyone of us!
I have so much to be thankful for, a beautiful, intelligent daughter, a family that cares for me, trials, tests and tears which I'm still learning from, making new friends, Glenn coming to visit, and so much more!
Now as the New Year comes, all I wish for is- that whether or not I have a "good year," I'll grow closer to the Lord no matter what, that I'll find my niche in life, and that I can be the mother Amelia deserves.
So.....Good-bye 2008, 2009 is just around the corner.

But me oh my...I do have to say....what a way we're going to begin our New Year! No grapes, no T.V even if we had the grapes, and all our home sick. YEHAW! LOL
PTL, we'll figure something out....no partying for me though *sniffle, blows nose, coughs, and lays down for a nap*

Christmas day

Not many pictures, sorry, I only have two. Amelia and her favorite toy, the big puppy.
Now she wakes up and the FIRST thing she says is....."PUPPY."

Merry Christmas

I have no Christmas pictures, but I thought this one was so cute and just exuded the Christmas spirit, hehe.

Congrats to Lita and her male Eman......

For their beautiful baby girl--Amelia.
I didn't want to post this before cause I had no picture....but now I snuck one from their blog (nyuck nyuck).
She was born on the 19th of December.
Lita had to have a cesarean so please pray for a swift recovery for her.
Love you Lits, hope I can see you sometime.

The Box Skit,

This is done really well! I was super impressed, and really liked it. GB the ones who did it.

Stuff my babes is up to

It's crazy, sometimes I look at Amelia and think, "My gosh! Shes already so big! How'd time go by so quickly?"
She's such a crazy little thing. She says: mommy, mama (or amama, or gma for grandma, depends, heh), pato (for the duck in pocoyo, which is a little cartoon I put on for her), there are more words, but I just can't think of them all right now...but her latest and favorite one is puppy. Shes been saying it all day for the last week or so. Last night I was at Aqua so my mom put her to bed, and apparently she put herself to sleep by repeatedly saying, "puppy, puppy,puppy"....adorable!!! She goes up and down the slide by herself now to, which is a bit scary....but it's just too CUTE!! Park pictures coming as soon as I get them off my camera.

Jumping Chickens

We have these chickens which keep coming into our garden...and they walk and cluck about a bit and go back into the neighbors garden. I really don't understand these guys...they look all pijos but then they have frogs and chickens in their garden...eh? Oh well....if it makes them happy. But yeah...jumping chickens!!!

The adorable children I'm related to

Yup...they're a good looking bunch of kidos
